The fact that Wine Advocate has named La Ferme du Mont as a "Top source for Grenache-driven wines from the Southern Rhône" is a guarantee for the quality of the wine in front of you! This old-vine grenache will have you grinning from cheek to cheek.
2016 La Ferme du Mont Vendange Châteauneuf-du-Pape Rouge is a blend of 80% Old-vines Grenache, the flagship grape of La Ferme du Mont, complemented with 20% Mourvèdre.
La Ferme du Mont is located in Valréas, in the famous Côte d'Azur, one of the most paradisiacal regions in France and probably the entire world. Valréas is known as “L’Enclave des Papes” or, the Enclave of the Popes because Pope John XXII acquired this region for the Avignon papacy in 1317.
The vineyard is composed of more than 120 acres spanning the sub-appellations of Côtes du Rhône, Côtes du Rhône Villages, Vacqueyras, Gigondas, Châteauneuf and Châteauneuf Vendanges d'Octobre in the Rhône Valley. The vines are old and the Garnacha is the main protagonist.
Stephane Vedeau, founder, owner, and winemaker has managed to position the winery among the most popular in the region. Stephane comes from a family of winemakers and shares with them the same passion for producing high-quality wines. Stephane pays special attention to the vineyard, which he manages in the most natural way, since 2011 they began to cultivate with 100% biodynamic practices, without using pesticides or fertilizers.

TASTING NOTES
What's in the Glass
80% Grenache and 20% Mourvèdre. Deep purple-red, elegant aromas of red and black fruits, caramel licorice, and lightly waxed Mediterranean spices. On the palate, the wine is smooth and lively. The 2016 La Ferme du Mont Vendange Châteauneuf-du-Pape Rouge finish shows a nice sweetness always in balance with the freshness. Pair this wine with beef, lamb, and roasted and spiced dishes.
